Entries for the Gerety Awards are now open for 2023 entries. The Gerety Awards is unique, in that it brings together a female jury to select the best in advertising that resonates most with a female audience

Entries celebrating strategy will show creative examples of the customer journey and strategic planning that redefined a brand or product.

Emerging commerce will show new channels that organically use the Metaverse, NFTs, Blockchain, AI, AR and other advanced technologies and tools to seamlessly support the development of a brand, product or service.

Says Pick: “It’s an honour to be selected as the AU/NZ regional ambassador for the Gerety Awards this year. In its fifth year now, and continuing to grow in scale and scope, it has a unique perspective: a jury that selects the best in global advertising that resonates with a female audience.
